Playoff hopes diverged Monday night in the Green Bay Packers' 27-14 win against the Baltimore Ravens. On the way up are the Packers, who strengthened their hold on an NFC wild-card berth, buoyed by their top-ranked defense and a good-enough-when-it-counted performance from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saluted their past, then rookie Josh Freeman gave the struggling franchise hope for the future. Freeman passed for 205 yards and three touchdowns Sunday, including a 7-yard throw to Sammie Stroughter\ on fourth-and-4, leading the previously winless Bucs to a 38-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Army will play Rutgers, Air Force and Boston College at Yankee Stadium in the near future in addition to the Black Knights' matchup there next year against Notre Dame. Army announced the three games Wednesday, two days after it said it would face the Fighting Irish at the new ballpark Nov. 20, 2010. The Black Knights will take on Rutgers on Nov. 12, 2011; Air Force on Nov. 3, 2012; and Boston College on Nov. 8, 2014.

A year after their messy divorce from longtime quarterback Brett Favre, it's no surprise the Green Bay Packers are making more changes. The Pack allowed 23.8 points a game last season. Clearly not great, but not an inordinate amount, either.
